Help choosing coupling caps

I have an Audioprism Mantissa tubed linestage and have upgraded the caps to teflons (Chris V V caps) amazing sound and very revealing

I'm now thinking of changing the caps on my dodds. i'm looking at v caps once again however the cost and revealing nature of these caps may become "too much of a good thing" and perhaps I should look at a similar quality cap that errs a bit on the neutral/warm side of things

Anyone have experience using different caps in conjunction with Chris Teflons
i'm in process of gathering information at this time any relevant input is very much appreciated

If you got the bucks for the V caps then go for it!!
Otherwise the Sonic Teflon caps are suppose to be excellent.
I am running a pair of Russion K40 PIO on the inputs and Mundorf Silver in Oil on outputs. I see no reason to change them. (Though I may try the Russians on the output also)
Warm full detailed and tight sound.
I'd say hit ebay and buy up some Russion military K40 caps, and be done. I have been told that these caps would be worth over $100 if made today.

I use Mundorf Silver/Oil output couplers in my cd player (Exemplar 2900), and preamp (deHavilland Mercury II). They have a warm but detailed presentation, and the pace and rythm are very "liquid" sounding. Good listening. Jeff
